Yesterday (20th), Long Jun said through the communication app "bubble", "Please don't call anymore. I will reveal this person's phone number," and then revealed a certain phone number. Later, A, the owner of this phone number, claimed that he was not a private fan. A, who said he thought it was a friend's number and mistakenly made a call, revealed that after hanging up, he received calls and abusive messages from an unknown number. Seeing that, he explained, "I thought, 'Could it be that I accidentally called an idol?' When I searched, I found that Long Jun had publicly revealed my phone number on bubble and made me a private fan as an established fact." A, who visited the police station about this matter, said, "The investigator asked me how many times I called. I told him I only called once by mistake," emphasizing that he was not a private fan. A said, "I told the investigator that I tried to contact SM Entertainment from the investigation department, but they didn't answer. Then the investigator said that I had no choice but to call the number I called, asked for Long Jun's number, and I handed my smartphone to the investigator," and explained the situation by saying, "Since the investigator didn't answer when he called, the investigator left a message for Long Jun, and then received a response." A said that the contents conveyed by the investigator who was able to contact Long Jun's manager were, "The manager apologized on behalf of Long Jun. From now on, he said he would try to prevent the leakage of the number as much as possible," but also revealed, "I was told that you might be a private fan." A said, "It was my mistake to make a wrong call, but is it right to leak the phone number of a non-confirmed ordinary person just because of that?" and demanded an explanation from SM. In response, SM announced an official comment today (21st). "On the 20th, Long Jun thought that the unknown contact he received was from a private fan and publicly revealed it on the fan communication platform. We apologize sincerely to those who were affected by the fact that the contact information was made public on an open platform." The agency, which received a report that the victim had gone to the police station to inquire, conveyed the intention of apology for the damage through the responsible investigator, saying, "We have taken measures to delete the post. We will make efforts to prevent further damage. Please refrain from contacting the victims."
